Wow! Imagine what he can make off of the married ones!

He probably makes enough off that pothole to pay the taxes to fix it

Selfish & greedy are the words I would use to describe that ass hat. Put a traffic cone in the pothole, don't be  dick.

BTW married hahaha.

"a dick".

Back in the day you would have been glad to have him fix your tire in the middle of the night. Cause when you broke down and left your car on the side of that road, if you came back and the only thing missing was all 4 wheels you were lucky.
The Belt Parkway has two speeds, crawling and fast (depending on the time of day) narrow lanes, sharp curves, no shoulders, sections with no lights, and you better not drive distracted. Lots of fun.

Ok but it isn’t a break down, it is a malicious method of making money off of preventable damage. Do you think the only thing breaking or blowing is the tire, that pothole is causing more damage than meets the eye. It’s probably damaging inner outer tie, rods, knuckle joints, CV joints, and injuries. Tire man don’t give a sh1t just like the honey badger.

He's not the first guy to that and he won't be the last. Grew up there, NY is terrible with pot holes every where, always have been. That hole has been there off and on for a year and a half because they can't patch it right. If the city fixed it properly it wouldn't be a problem and he wouldn't be out there. But they don't, so it's a business opportunity for him. Maybe the publicity will get it fixed once and for all.
As for putting out a traffic cone I googled, Is it legal for a citizen to put a traffic cone on a road in NYC to warn of a pothole.
Answer: No, it is not legal for a private citizen to place traffic cones on a public road in New York City. Placing personal items, including traffic cones, on the street to warn of a pothole or to reserve a space is considered an illegal obstruction.

Why it is Illegal and Risky
Illegal Obstruction: According to NYC311, citizens cannot block streets or sidewalks with personal property.
Liability: If the cone causes a hazard or accident, the person who placed it could be held liable.
Safety Hazard: Unauthorized cones can misdirect traffic, cause erratic driving, or be dangerous if struck by a vehicle.
Enforcement: Residents who do this, often to save parking, can be issued fines, and such items can be removed by the City.

What to Do Instead
Instead of placing a cone, citizens should report hazardous potholes directly to the city for professional, lawful repair and traffic management:
Call 311 to report a "street defect" or pothole.
Use the NYC311 website or app to report the location.
For urgent, dangerous hazards, call 911.

Note: The only exception to placing cones in the street is for active construction sites with proper, approved permits.

Saving a parking space? Marking a pothole is not blocking the street nearly as much as asshats truck collecting $2K a night or the broken down cars….. you think he is paying taxes? Does he have a permit….license? Is he legal?

Justifying his hustle by “lookie here on Google”  still doesn’t make it right.
